Very pleased with this one. You just go along with the image blockes, until you come to a site where you don't want them blocked, and you then just click on the icon and the plus sign, voila the site is added to white list. Do it a few times, and you won't even have to think about it. Neat. Thanks and rgds.

why we can't export-import our whitelist ??? when we reset our chrome... all the "white listed pages" must we re enable!!! and its big problem

Hello! Useful tip for every one: how to search the white list? We'll you do like this: 1) Go to the web site you want to remove from the white list 2) Click on the + button to white list it again (yes again) 3) Now check the white list: the first item is the web site you just white listed again. :) In summary: the first element in the white list is the web site you whitelisted last, even if the web site was already on the white list.
